I love to read and sometimes write. I'm active on fedi mostly as @tomasino@tilde.zone. I've been using Goodreads for the past bajillion years and will try to transition here. I run cosmic.voyage and a bunch of fun projects like @SolarpunkPrompts@podcast.tomasino.org

Pax and Peter have been inseparable ever since Peter rescued him as a kit. But one day, the unimaginable happens: …
I can't explain exactly why I love this book so much. It's not the quality of the prose. Maybe it's the world building or maybe it's just nice to love a character who is a clear force of good. I'll be reading the next two books immediately.

I'm the end I had to stop. This audio drama is only 4 hours but I couldn't last.
From what I did hear the acting was pretty decent, if cartoonish. That seems to match the feel of the story though. No complaints with the production.
This book had a lot of overlap with another I read recently: [b:Slow Stitch: Mindful and Contemplative Textile Art|24886854|Slow Stitch Mindful and Contemplative Textile Art|Claire Wellesley-Smith|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1438047849l/24886854.SX50.jpg|44535292].
